Dartboard tests for the location quotient [PDF]
Regional Science and Urban Economics, 2009 Abstract In this paper we reinterpret the location quotient, the commonly employed measure of regional industrial agglomeration, as an estimator derived from Ellison and Glaeser [Ellison, G., and Glaeser, E., 1997. Geographic concentration in U.S. manufacturing industries: a dartboard approach.

The location quotient as an estimator of industrial concentration
Regional Science and Urban Economics, 2012Abstract We construct the location quotient (LQ) from a discrete data generating process and formally test its statistical properties. First, we show that the LQ is typically unbiased, but exhibits finite sample bias when assuming a Poisson distribution. Second, we determine the accuracy of statistical tests, which depends of both sample size as well

The Annals of Regional Science, 2008
Economic base analysis suggests that export expansion should be the primary engine of regional economic growth and the most commonly employed approach to identifying specialization is the location quotient (LQ). Similarly, the law of comparative advantage represents a conceptual framework for determining the type of trade.

Location Quotients, Ambient Populations, and the Spatial Analysis of Crime in Vancouver, Canada [PDF]
Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 2007 This paper uses the location quotient, a common measurement from economic geography and regional economics, to capture the specialization of criminal activity in Vancouver, Canada. Location quotients have barely been introduced into criminological research, yet they provide additional insight into crime analysis not available using crime counts and ...
